3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JUL 4, 2011 This will not remove enamal from anyone’s teeth. It’s not that hoppy, quite balanced. Herbal hops. Nice beer, but nothing amazing.

Getting to the point where all the Lagunitas IPA variations sort of run together in my mouth and head. That’s not a negative--I just wonder whether they all come from the same barrels. This one goes great with a full-bodied pizza.

Bottle at home, scored against my interpretation of 2004 BJCP Guidelines. Aroma: hops, floral, hint of resin. Appearance: clear, dark gold, lacking in head. Taste: very hoppy, hint of caramel? Palate: smooth, medium-high carbonation, long dry finish, seems to be lacking the warming alcohol sensation. Overall: Seems to be a great example of the style, very hoppy, light on maltiness, smooth and enjoyable.

Amberish orange pour with little to no white head. Nose is of pure hops. Taste is a bit more complex with a ever changing hop flavor from floral to citrus.

22 oz. bomber. Sunburst orange fading to a bright yellow at the bottom of a goblet. Very smooth when cold, creamy malty mouth feel but the hops are what this is about. Clean hop finish, its sweeter up front and crisp with a fresh grassy hop after taste. Not much alc. taste for 8% but it does the job. Highly drinkable, kinda seems like their attempt at a high strength Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, but they did it well. Only draw back is their yeast tastes the same in every beer and i sometimes lose interest in it, enjoyed this one though.
